March 30, 1955: Presenter Bette Davis poses with Marlon Brando (winner of the Best Actor Academy Award for On the Waterfront) and Grace Kelly, who won the Best Actress Academy Award for The Country Girl.
Fun fact: Grace was approached to play the lead in On the Waterfront, but chose to film Rear Window instead.
Another shot of three legends: Bette Davis (who presented the Best Actor award), Marlon Brando, and Grace Kelly.
A great color shot of Bette Davis, Marlon Brando, and Grace at the 1955 Academy Awards. So much awesomeness in this photo!
